THE WORST.
A good story is told- of a digger who had ridden into a Western Australian town to consult a doctor.. Having done so, iie went to have the prescription made up. " How much is this lot* ?" he asked the chemist. " Weil, let me see," was the reply. "There's seven an<J sixpence for the medicino and a shilling for the bottle." He hesitated, uncertain whether he had charged for everything. " Oh, hurry up, boss," said the impatient miner. " Put a price on the cork, and let us know the worst."
